Bastien Hair for Genesis 3 & 8 Male(s) – Sexy guy hair by AprilYSH. Her hair styles are always unique, cool, and renders well. I am a big fan of April and long male hair. I think it will look good with female characters as well.

October 2018 Contest Vendors

The middle of October is also when the Platinum Club Festival starts. In honor of this fabulous event, we will only feature one big vendor this month, Daz Originals! This includes all the Genesis figures, old M4, V4 figures, Daz freebie items, and much much more. There are currently 11880 listed Daz-O items, so shouldn’t be too difficult to find a qualifying item in this one! 😀

1st Place – The Long Awaited Return

She is superbly charming in her Sensibility Outfit. I love how there is a slight wind, lifting her hair and ribbons, as she holds on to her hat.

The sunset and environment are terrific. Great job in creating depth with the distant Yvoire town and Licorne ship. Adding the little rowboat is brilliant. It makes the scene much more dramatic, signaling the imminent arrival of her loved one(s) after a long wait.

Finally, masterful combination of Reparation and Tree And Swing on the cliff to create a truly unique and awe-inspiring scene.

The judges had a very difficult time choosing between The Long Awaited Return and Looking For Answers, another incredible, delightful, and storied scene. Love your work!

Looking For Answers by Kibosh

2nd Place – So in Love

She looks happy, peaceful, and so full of hope and anticipation. Fabulous work with the atmospheric light rays shining at her face, further enhancing the mood of the piece. The Window Seat is marvelously featured, showing how the window can be used to cast interesting patterns of light and shadow.

I also like her dress and how her full sleeves elegantly drape over the window seat. It adds a beautiful softness and flow to the image. Captivating and lovely.

Mirror, mirror is another fantastic picture, with an excellent concept. Such a clever use of the Ragnarok Mask. At first, I thought she was trying to smoke a cigarette, but then I realized she was trying to apply lipstick.

Sensational work! It was difficult for the judges to pick between the two.

3rd Place – Between Good & Evil

Love the idea of an angel having a night-time meeting with a sea monster. Great work on the sea-monster materials, especially how his scales shimmer in the lamp-lights. He is also wonderfully posed, curving out from under the bridge.

I also like the misty night environment. It gives depth and a nice fade effect to the background, as well as imbues the piece with a sense of mystery and magic. Very well done!

3rd Place – Prussian Infiltrator

The glowing warm lights contrast beautifully with the blues of the night. Excellent work using AtmoCam for Iray to create the misty surroundings, which makes the ambiance more mysterious and sinister. The pose of the Prussian Infiltrator further contributes to the mood of the piece.

I also enjoyed Cipher Savant, another cool looking character from your Golem Wars game. The Shadow is another judge favorite, with a clever concept and illustrated style.

This image definitely reminds me of several of the Dracula movies. Putting him on a ship adds a sense of anticipation and drama to the image. Our dark anti-hero is looking forward to his new destination, as he stares out into the night sea.

Where he is going to, nobody knows, but all hope it is nowhere too close.
